"Sir!" As soon as Grand Duke Herlov returned, the housekeeper of the family greeted him with an anxious face and said in a low voice, "The elders of the various rooms of the family are already waiting for you in the conference room!" ”

"Okay, I got it!" Grand Duke Haerlov nodded with a heavy face.

And Carter, who was shrouded in a black cloak behind him, said loudly: "Since it is an internal family meeting of the Grand Duke's family, I am still waiting for the Duke in the living room?" ”

"No!" The Grand Duke shook his head: "This matter is mainly to discuss the issue of authority, you are the one who presides, let's go in together." ”

Carter under the cloak smiled slightly, did not refute anything, and acquiesced to the Duke's words, because if you want to clean up the city and defend it, you must have all the rights to this territory, and all the power must be handed over to Carter to have a chance to resist the iron cavalry of Canaan.

This is the condition that Carter put forward from the beginning, because at such a time, the command must be unified, and there must not be any factions.

If you keep winning, it's fine, but if you lose a little, the other factions will take the opportunity to attack, causing more pressure on your front, and even a military taboo situation like changing generals on the spot!

Carter put forward this condition when he first promised the nobles to resist Canaan, the military power must be all in her hands, and the rear cannot use any objections, unless she is completely annihilated, the empire must support her unconditionally, otherwise she will not take over this defensive operation!

This condition was still discussed by the noble council for a long time at that time, and everyone was always afraid that Carter would take the opportunity to become bigger, but no one except her could hope to compete with Canaan, and after discussing it for a long time, they finally compromised.

But the most loss-making of all this is the family of Archduke Helllov, because the defensive wiring when fighting Canaan is in his Chenyang District, many nobles have heard of the magic of the Six Cities of Bianfan, once Carter spreads all her defenses throughout the Chenyang District, then even after winning this war, will this most prosperous territory still belong to his Austin family in the future?

They have seen the so-called tree of life, the kind of big tree that can cover a city is simply a mythical existence, once the other party paved those things, everything may really be involuntary, the big tree still tells the other party to retreat? But if you don't withdraw it, the devil knows what's in this thing?

But if Carter wins, is this something that the Austin family can withdraw if they want her to withdraw? At that point, you can only expect the other party's character, which is more nonsense when you hear it.

No one likes to be passive, all the initiative is in the hands of the other party, when others have the final say, you expect the other party's character to ensure that everyone is an old politician, who doesn't know who?

So the Austin family is resolutely opposed within the family!

The atmosphere in the conference hall is very rigorous, and all the people present are the older generation of the Austin family, all of whom have extremely high status, but everyone is gloomy at this time.

"Hello, the family originally handed over the position of leader to you in the hope that you could lead it to develop and grow, and now this situation, you still ask us to understand? How do we understand that? The Chenyang District is the root of our Austin family, and if the territory is gone, what is the use of those noble titles of yours? Will our family continue? Yes? ”

Faced with the question of the clan elder, Helllow was silent, this is indeed a dead proposition, but if you don't agree to Carter, the fate of the Twelve Southeast Counties is a lesson from the past, he doesn't think that those soldiers of his family can resist the terrible demon who can destroy the Merinos family in a month!

"Can you continue when Canaan comes in?" Seeing that Hallow was asked, Carter, who had been silent on the side, finally spoke!

"Who are you? When will it be your turn" The old men looked disgusted, but when they said this, they were stuck, because they saw that the other party had taken off his hood, revealing his fiery red hair!

In this continent, even if it is the distant Shenyang Empire or the cowering Foldrard in the north, there is no one who has not heard of the name of the red-haired knight, and those bards have long publicized several versions throughout the continent, and for the local old people of the Rus Empire, they will not fail to recognize the person in front of them!

"It turned out that His Highness Carter arrived, and I was rude!" The old man, who was still angry and angry just now, instantly collected his emotions and solemnly performed an aristocratic etiquette to Carter.

It's an old and cunning fritter, Carter said secretly, and then he owes a gift in return!

"Your Highness, it's not that the old man deliberately slanders your reputation, but from the perspective of the family, such conditions are too harsh!"

"And what do you think should be?"

"Soldiers can be brought in!" The old man said solemnly: "But it must be in the designated garrison area, your strange big tree cannot be planted in the Chenyang District, and the army's actions must also ask us for instructions, and we must also have the right to vote for the military meeting!" ”

"Looks like you still haven't figured out the form!" Carter sneered, "I'm not here to discuss anything with you, but to inform you!" ”

"It's Your Highness, you didn't figure out the situation!" The old man didn't give in at all: "You think you're going to eat us?" Do you have to do it here? Then I'll tell you now! After a pause, he said with a proud face: "Maybe you don't know, the history of our Austin family is much older than the Rus Empire, and the family has always been dependent on the dynasty, but the dynasty changes, and the family can continue to prosper, do you think that even if Canaan comes in, as long as our family cooperates, won't they rely on us?" ”

Grand Duke Hellow's face darkened, he didn't expect the patriarch of the family to bring up such a sensitive topic so blatantly? A bad feeling suddenly rose in his heart, if these words were used to threaten others, or even to threaten the king, it might not be a big problem, but the lord in front of him

"Maybe" Carter's expression suddenly became a little weird, and she looked at the other party faintly: "If I heard it right, are you preparing to commit treason?" ”

"No, no, no!" The other party smiled proudly: "I'm just giving Your Highness an analysis of the stakes!" ”

Carter suddenly smiled when he heard this, and with a gesture of his hand, a black figure suddenly appeared in the unknown corner, making everyone stunned, when did that guy appear there?

"Is all the bloodline of the Austin family eyed?"

"It's all locked, my lord!" The voice was cold without a trace of emotional fluctuations, and everyone felt a chill when they heard it.

"Okay, don't leave any of them!"

"You dare!" The clan elder suddenly panicked: "Our Austin family has ruled this remote territory for 10,000 years, do you know how much influence we have?" Do you know the consequences of your doing this? ”

"You think too highly of your so-called family!" Carter's voice at this time also became extremely cold, making people cold to the bone marrow

"In this world, it has never been said that no one will turn without it, and I will tell you now, your family is gone, and nothing will happen in this land!"

"You" The group got up in a panic, but they didn't have a chance to speak anymore, whether it was a bluff or a soft compromise, Carter was no longer ready to give them a chance.

In an instant, a black shadow flashed, and those noble clan elders in this conference hall were separated in an instant!

Grand Duke Haerlow looked at all this with a pale face, turned around and looked at Carter with a smile on his face, and a flash of realization suddenly flashed in his heart, no wonder the other party would follow him here inexplicably, it turned out

"That's what you planned to do in the first place, didn't you?"

"What are you talking about?" Carter said expressionlessly: "A traitor should have been killed!" ”

"Good, good!" Hello suddenly laughed maniacally: "It seems that they can't see clearly, you are a carnivorous wolf like Canaan, hahaha they are still counting on you to protect them"

The words came to an abrupt end when he reached this point, the whole hall was silent, and a dagger in the dark sank into the back and cervical vertebrae of the Grand Duke, the focus in the Grand Duke's eyes gradually dizzled, and his daughter's words were recalled in his mind: "Father, that child Carter has had the heart of a tiger and wolf since he was a child, and he is a ruthless person, everyone is confused by her superficial brilliance, and they all subconsciously forget one thing: she is actually no different from Canaan!" ”

In the end, I calculated my own life, but I didn't have that stupid daughter to see it clearly hahaha, it's true
